LONDON: Two young men and a teenage boy appeared in a London court Friday charged with an attempted arson attack on the offices of Persian-language outlet Iran International.
The Metropolitan police said Oisin McGuinness, 21, and Nathan Dunn, 19, both of Watford, northwest of London, and a 16-year-old boy from north London who cannot be named were all charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
McGuinness was also charged with dangerous driving. All three defendants, all of whom are British nationals, spoke in court only to confirm their names and addresses.
The force had announced their arrests Thursday following the incident the previous evening in northwest London, when “an ignited container” was thrown at Volant Media, the parent company of Iran International, the court heard.
